Chapter 260


    Everyone’s face turned white when they heard the news.


    A swarm of reporters bolted out with their cameras instantly.


    Jared, with a stem expression on his face, said, Tm going to check it out.”


    Agnes, equally shocked, quickly added, “Me too.”


    Three minutester, everyone had flocked to the rooftop of the Century Building. The ce was


    already jam-packed with people.


    Agnes overheard someone nearby ask, “What happened?”,


    Someone answered, “Some crazy fan of Mamie busted into her dressing room and proposed to her.


    When she humiliated him, he went ballistic, took Mamie hostage and is now threatening to jump off the


    building with her


    “That’s terrifying! Mamie is too popr for her own good. Some fan proposed to her at a film festival,


    and another creep hid under her hotel bed.”


    “How the hell did this criminal get past the Century Building’s tight security?”


    Jared pushed through the crowd to the front, Agnes trailing behind him.


    When Agnes got a clear view of the scene, she was petrified.


    Mamie was being choked, standing on the unprotected edge of the rooftop.


    A crowd of security guards surrounded them.


    The criminal waved a gun around and screamed at the crowd, “Nobody move! If anyone takes one


    more step, we’re jumping””


    Recognizing the criminal’s face, Agnes was taken aback.


    The guy was decked out in work clothes, which seemed oddly familiar to her.


    Turned out he was the “plumber” who had been headed to the 26th floor that morning!


    What the hell?


    The rooftop was a mess, but everyone was too scared to make a move.


    Everyone was whispering. The boss isn’t here today. He’ll lose his mind when he hears Mamie’s been


    taken hostage”


    “This is definitely gonna be front-page news tomorrow, but will it be entertainment or crime?”


    “I think he’s just bluffing. Mamie should be fine.”


    Despite being held hostage, Mamie was defiant and fought back, “You lunatic! If you want to die, go


    ahead. But you’re not dragging me down with you. You’d better let me go now, or rl make sure you rot


    in jail for the rest of your life.”


    He seemed very agitated, “Mamie, I love you so much. Why won’t you marry me? Just say yes and I’ll


    let you go. No one loves you more than I do.”

    Mamie’s voice was filled with disgust and disdain, “Marry you? There are plenty of guys who want to


    marry me. Should I say yes to all of them? You better let me go, or I’ll make sure you never see the


    light of day again.”


    “What’s the point of sunlight if I can’t have you? Mamie, you’re my sunshine. I’ve watched your movies


    over and over. I know every line. My favorite is from ‘Geisha’, I’ve always wanted to be cherished,


    properly ced, well-preserved, free from fear, suffering, wandering, and loneliness! I’ve watched that


    scene countless times. Your tears were like the moon in the sky. The more I watched, the more I felt


    like you were talking to me. So, I proposed. If you marry me, we’ll be happy. Please, will you marry


    me?”
